It is also quite popular among students with Bachelor’s degrees in Biology and History.

Double Diploma

Mobility

Today’s Master’s programmes provide opportunities for Bachelor’s degree graduates to continue their studies in other universities, not only in Russia, but also in Europe and America. A TSU Master’s diploma is accepted by employers in Russia and abroad.
